The BEGINNING Of ths End.

The beginning of disease is q slight debility
or disorder Of some of tho vital organa. the
stomach, the liver or the bowels usually.
There are dyspeptic symptoms. tho liver is
troublesome. the SKIN grove tawney and nm.
healthy looking, there are pains in the right
side or through the right shoulder blade. The
climax is often an utter prostration of the
physical energies, perhaps fatal iaAue But
il the difficulty is met in time with Hostetter'a
Stomach Bitters, which is always effective ss q
remedy. and it should be reaorted to at an early
stage. there will be no reason to apprehend
system often entailed by entirely cured dis
eases. Far better is it. also, to employ this safe
remedial agent IN fever and ague. and other
malariRl complaints, than quinine and other
potent drngs, which, even when they do prove
effsctuai for slime, ruin the atomach and i'm
pair the general health.

Vi d
In nearly every issue OF the Sioux
City Journal during the past week it has
been alleged that General Campbell is
the father of the proposition to effect
statehood through the Intervention Of
the territorial legislature. The Journal
overlooks the fact that it had no authori-
ty for this announcement, gupposing,
probably, that all things radical from
Yankton must be OF Oambellian origin.
General Campbell favors this PROPOSE
ton, but it was originated by Ex-Gov-
ernor Edmunds, who suggested 1t to the
Press and Dakotaian. and asked this
paper to promulgate the idea. AS it if
entirely in accord with our previously
expressed theory of statehood organiza-
ton we endorse the suggestion heartily
and have given it the attention its i'm
portApoe deserves. General Campbell
is in accord with the proposition, bu
has done nothing more than give hi
endorsement. Ii is not probable tha
he cares to assume the credit which be
longs to another, though he stand
ready to second the motion OF Governo
Edmunds.

Photographs of Pretty Hands to Take til

Photographs of Pretty Hands to Take the
Place of Ordinary Pictures.
Women with pretty hands and wrists
have, according to the New York World,
found new way of preserving their charms
for the delight of coming generations They
go to the photographer and have their
hands photographed. Some New York pho
tographers are beginning to make special
ty of reproducing handsome hands.
1t is hard to say where the idea came
from In all probability it is modification
of the custom that the English woman has
got into of having her feet and ankles re-
produced in marble. The American woman
has not reached the<marble fashion yet and
it Is hoped she never will.
1t is quite natural that a young woman
with handsome hands should wish to pre-
serve semblance Of their charm by means
of the photographers art, for bands and
wrists, like cheeks and lips, lose their
beauty as the years go by. In time wrists
become too plump and wrinkles gather
about joints and l1nuckles. The skin be-
comes dry and brown and the palm loses its
delicate unSe OF new blown rose. There
are few things more handsome than
young and perfect hand.
Hands are photographed on glass mega
tives in the same manner as ordinary pict-
ures are made. The hand, wrist and fore
arm are placed against a dark background
in a strong light in front of the camera
The ordinary exposure of plate is then
made. Black velvet makes an excellent
background. All the beautiful curves and
dimples of the hand are clearly shown. The
wrinkles, however, are left out.
ut is very pretty CUSTOM" said a pho
tographer who has some pictures of pretty
hands displayed in his showcase. sWhy
shouldn't young lady have picture of her
hand as well as her facet A picture of that
kind Is nice thing for a young lady to have
TO send to her female friends and her near
relatives. Sometimes these pictures are
sent elsewhere. A young lady came in here
short time ago in great hurry for pict-
ure of her hand. She wanted it for par
tcular day for particular purpose. We
dropped lot of work and pushed that pict-
ure through with rush. l learned after
wards that she sent that picture of her
hand in reply to proposal of marriage
What is still better, her heart went with il. {"

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
How a wen-K known Ohio Man Locates Nat
uraI Gas,

How a Well-Known Ohio Man Locates Nat
ural Gas.
Mr.. John Bugher, the wealthy and we'll
known quarryman at Taylorsville, O., says
he can indicate the presence of natural gas,
and his word carries great weight with
those who know him. Mr.. Bugher, accord
ing to Mlamisburgh (O.) correspondent of
the Indianapolis Journd, is very shy and
loath to make public his peculiar faculty,
but recently he gave private exhibition to
the directors of the gas company here, who
were amazed and astoAished. The gentle
man was an entire stranger in this city,
and knew nothing of the location of the wells
already here.
They first walked down Main street, when
at the foot of Main street Mr. Bugher
stopped, and seemed to be in great pain,
and acted just as if he were fastened to q
powerful electric machine. Great beads of
sweat rolled down his face and the muscles
and cords of his neck swelled and twisted
convulsively Relief only was Obtained by
lifting one foot from the ground. thus
breaking the circuit. And thus Mr. Bugher
was affected at half-dozen places in town,
and the vein of natural gas underlying
the town, was plainly marked out, and
was found to coincide with certainties al
ready established by the drill.
w naClS lJs every OOuy asks. Mr.. Bugher
doesn't know himself, only that on the 2Sth
of August last, while at the Findlay gas
wells, he was taken with what at the time
he thought was stroke of paralysis, but
recovered his usual rugged health upon
leaving Findlay. 1t seems as if the presence
of natural gas affects him like strong cur
rent of electricity
Mr.. Bugher recently located the presence
of gas at the immense gas well lately struck
at Wapakoneta, o. He is willing to come
here and be blindfolded, and prove that he
is not shamming, by pointing out, blind
folded, all our gas territory, and part of
that we know by the positive development
of the drill He does not seek notoriety.
and asks nothing for his services, but is
much interested in the matter himself to
see if he actually can unerringly locate gas
veins and strata.
He says the different veins and strata
here all converge below town at the Mar
rows, and he can even feel it's presence at
that point while riding over it on the cars.
The following-named gentlemen accompan-
led Mr.. Bugher on his round the other
night, and can vouch for the statements
herein made as being exactly what they
saw: Messrs M. G. Bohn, +. Gwinner. r
Allen and George d. Mays. They can not
explain it, but say the man was most DOW
erfully affected by the occult presence.
